Split Peas and White Beans...

...No - not to eat - but to decorate with. See I can't show you much of a picture - 'cause I'm working on a wedding (in a barn) for this upcoming weekend and everything is still a work in progress. But my mom and I had this idea to use "beans" to fill some jars - and since the colors are all "earthy" and whites - well split peas and white northern beans just seemed like the perfect mix.

Bags and Bags and Bags of Beans...

...all layered up...

...some just in mason jars with sweet lil' "baby boo" pumpkins...

...just makes for a simple, pretty and unique accent.

I'll be a busy girl the next few days getting everything ready to go. And I'll be sure and show you pictures - promise. I've just gotta wait till it's over - ya know, so it can be a surprise!

You are so talented and imaginative! These look beautiful. Was sorry to learn of the store closing but happy that your family is following their dream and all is well. Your home is so welcoming and special I'm sure it will sell right away to some very lucky folks. I admire so much how every inch is a pretty picture. We have a similar farm set-up with customers and kids and I recognize how much WORK goes into keeping it all a showplace! You make it seem so easy... Blessings to you all!hugs,Leslie

That is a great idea and I bet the wedding is going to be beautiful. I can tell you were so excited to have s visit from two blog friends! What a great surprise! Hope everything is going well with your next great adventure! denise

Can't wait to see the wedding in a barn pictures. Love the peas and beans. They do look good togethr. Navy Bean Soup (we had for dinner tonight) and Split Pea Soup. Two of my favorites this time of year.Your ideas are the best.
